Emmanuel was born in Les-Cayes and was raised by his grandmother because his mother died when he was a baby. When Emmanuel was 11-years-old his grandmother sent him to Port-au-Prince to live with his uncle because she was no longer able to care for him. Emmanuel’s uncle treated him very badly, beat him and used him as a restavek (child slave). After being oppressed by his uncle for two years, Emmanuel had the courage to run away. He lived on the streets for two months before he met a kind Haitian woman who befriended him and brought him to the St. Joseph Family. Emmanuel enjoys going to school. His favorite activity is art classes and he dreams of being a famous artist one day.
